Why Choose a Professional over a DIY Plumbing Job?
We can all agree that some things should just be left to professionals, but what about the little things? Clogged drains, leak repairs, and sink replacements. Some of these things sound easy for many do-it-yourselfers, but is it always a smart idea?
Let’s dive in..
The first thing to remember is that even though there are a lot of useful resources on the internet nowadays like YouTube and WikiHow, there’s no better way of diagnosing a problem from someone who’ been trained to do so, such as a professional plumber.
Professional plumbers will come well-equipped on-the-scene with all the right tools to diagnose and fix the issue at hand.
Along with making sure that the problem is properly fixed, there’s also the matter of laws and codes that need to be addressed. These laws and codes are set by the state and the IPC (International Plumbing Code) to provide appropriate regulations that protect life, health, and safety of the building for its residents.
How To Pick The Right Plumber For The Job
Just looking at Google Reviews for plumbers isn’t always all it takes to find the right plumber. There are some characteristics of a good, honest, and reliable plumber that we want you to be aware of. We’ve narrowed it down to these top 10 characteristics.
The plumber must be licensed and certified
According to the laws set by the state and IPC, a plumbing company must be licensed and certified to work on residential and commercial projects. By doing this, they must go through a series of tests and requirements to obtain a license and certification.
They must be mechanically inclined
It’s not enough to just ‘pass the test’, but a good plumber will understand the basic mechanics of what makes a valve work or the type of pipe and tubing needed for specific applications. A plumber without that basic understanding can be a disaster waiting to happen.
They must be experienced
Along with understanding basic plumbing problems and providing solutions, you also want to be sure that you are receiving services from someone who is experienced in an array of plumbing services. The more experience, the better. There will always be new scenarios that plumbers encounter, and a good plumber will use that knowledge towards the next plumbing job to bring that next customer the best experience possible. Knowledge and experience is power.
Punctuality is a must
When you’re in need of someone to rescue you from your plumbing disaster, you want somebody that you can depend on. Someone who will arrive when they told you they would arrive. Someone who will keep in communication with you if an emergency arises on their side. If they are not punctual, then they probably aren’t dependable.
Coordination skills are a must
Have you thought about the tight quarters that plumbers work in at times? Working in a very small space requires the use of many pieces of equipment with little room to spare. An ideal plumber will use their coordination skills to get the job done right and in a timely manner.
Communication is key
There’s nothing worse than miscommunication. In choosing the right plumber, be sure this is someone who listens attentively to your needs and the problem that has been explained. The right plumber will answer your questions, giving you a glimpse into the solution. This will give you confidence in their abilities, and a good communicator will prevent potential conflicts due to miscommunication.
Dedication
An ideal plumber will show you their dedication to you through a number of different ways. For us here at Covert Plumbing, we are dedicated to making sure that our customers know exactly what to expect. We don’t leave our customers blindsided by ‘surprises’. We simply let them know how we can help by providing them with a solution, and fair, up-front pricing.
